Kill Shakespeare Volume 1

i must confess that my knowledge of shakespeare is not as wide or deep as this graphic novel series requires. all the known characters are there and they harbor many of their known character flaws but the nature of the plot - two opposing forces battle to aquire the quill of the godhead Shakespeare - mixes them so throughly that i get confused as to who is who, and from which play. written in shakespearean language, many of the most famous lines are re-worked into dialogue. their familiarity is a constant, but i rarely can peg from which play that phrase is plucked. i'll need to 'brush up (my) shakespeare' (the song from kiss me kate) before i can continue with this series :)
